  2. “Evidence” for Dark Energy Observational data • Type Ia Supernovae • Galaxy Clusters • Cosmic Microwave Background • Large Scale Structure • Gravitational Lensing Physical effects: • Geometry • Growth of Structure Both depend on the Hubble expansion rate: H2(z) = H20 [M (1+z) 3 + DE (1+z) 3 (1+w) ] (flat)

  3. Dark Energy: back to Newton? F = -GM/r2 + /3 r X * “I have now explained the two principle cases of attraction… which is very remarkable” Newton, Principia

  7. The Dark Energy Survey

  8. The Dark Energy Survey Blanco 4-meter at CTIO • Study Dark Energy using 4 complementary techniques: I. Cluster Counts II. Weak Lensing III. Baryon Acoustic Oscillations IV. Supernovae • Two multi-band surveys 5000 deg2g, r, i, z 40 deg2 repeat (SNe) • Build new 3 deg2 camera and data management system Survey 2010-2015 (525 nights) 300,000,000 photometric redshifts within a volume of 23 (Gpc/h)^3, out to z = 2

  9. DES Organization Over 100 scientists in 17 institutions In the US, UK, Spain and Brazil Science Working Groups Supernovae B. Nichol J. Marriner Weak Lensing B. Jain S. Bridle Galaxy Clustering E. Gaztanaga W. Percival Photometric Redshifts F. Castander H. Lin Simulations Kravtsov A. Evrard Clusters J. Mohr T. McKay DES:UK consortium: UCL, Portsmouth, Cambridge, Edinburgh, Sussex

  10. DES Status • Low-risk, near-term (2010-15) project with high discovery potential • Survey strategy delivers substantial DE science after 2 years • Synergy with SPT and VISTA • Precursor to LSST, DUNE and JDEM • Total cost is relatively modest (~ $20-30M) • STFC approved £1.7M for the DES optical corrector, subject to funding in the US • Glass ordered by UCL in Sep 07 (funds from 5 universities) • DES in the US President budget request for FY08 • DOE CD1 approved; CD2/CD3 in Jan 08 • NSF contribution to data management

  11. DES Forecast Constraints DETF FoM • DES+Stage II combined = Factor 4.6 improvement over Stage II combined • Consistent with DETF range for Stage III DES-like project • Large uncertainties in systematics remain, but FoM is robust to uncertainties in any one probe, and we haven’t made use of all the information

  12. DES Forecasts: Power of Multiple Techniques w(z) =w0+wa(1–a) 68% CL Ma, Tang, Weller FoM factor 4.6 tigther compared to near term projects

  13. Sources of uncertaintiesin measuring Dark Energy • Theoretical (e.g. the cosmological model) • Astrophysical (e.g. galaxy and cluster properties) • Instrumental (e.g. image quality)

  14. Photometric redshifts z=0.1 z=3.7 • Probe strong spectral features (e.g. 4000 break)

  15. Photo-z –Dark Energy cross talk • Approximately, for a photo-z slice: (w/ w) = 5 (z/ z) = 5 (z/z) Ns-1/2 => the target accuracy in w and photo-z scatter z dictate the number of required spectroscopic redshifts Ns =105-106

  16. Cosmology from photo-z surveys • Optimization of Photo-z for cosmic probes • Photo-z mocks and algorithms • Spetroscopic training sets • MegaZ-LRG (DR6) • DES • VISTA • DUNE • other surveys BAO, WL, neutrino mass, ISW, halo parameters,…

  17. Photo-z Challenges • Optimizing hybrid methods - errors - pdf - ‘clippping’ • Optimal filters • Spetroscopic training sets • Field vs cluster photo-z • Synergy with BAO and WL • “Self calibration” and “colour tomography”

  18. Photo-z Methods • Template fitting (e.g. Hyper-z) • Bayesian methods (e.g. BPZ, Zebra) • Training-based methods (e.g. ANNz)

  28. DES+VISTA: Galaxy Power Spectrum For the same clipping threshold, we can measure the power spectrum accurately to higher redshifts using the DES+VISTA data. DES grizY DES grizY + VISTA JHK

  31. DUNE: Dark UNiverse Explorer • Mission baseline: • 1.2m telescope • FOV 0.5 deg2 • PSF FWHM 0.23’’ • Pixels 0.11’’ • GEO (or HEO) orbit • Surveys (3-year initial programme): • WL survey: 20,000 deg2 in 1 red broad band, 35 galaxies/amin2 with median z ~ 1, ground based complement for photo-z’s • Near-IR survey (J,H). Deeper than possible from ground. Secures z > 1 photo-z’s
